Hello,
First post!
Just checked out all notes and searched the forums for similar issues and came-up short of a real solution.
Running on an ESX cluster with plenty of resources and VMs.
Problem:
Performance of this 1 VM, I will discuss my configuration and some things tried already.
Just downloaded the '03 Server EE SP2 VHD from MS to test out SCCM '07 in a dev. environment.
Converted with VM converter to VM image and placed on the cluster.
Image downloaded here: MS VHD Link
At first it was running so slowly that I though maybe my configuration was wrong, I went back and bumped up the resources and it got just a bit better, not much.
Here is my configuration now...
HW:
4G RAM
4 CPUs
Client Floppy and CD
Network on a VLAN
SCSI LSI Logic
HD VD 127G
Options:
OS set to '03 Server EE 32b as that is the OS
VM Tools Installed
Normal Acceleration (when Disabled, it got even worse)
Enable Logging
Expose Nx flag
Boot delay 0
Paravirtualization Disabled
Fibre Channel NPIV None
Virtualized MMU Auto
Swapfile Default
Resources:
CPU 0, Unlimited
Memory 0, Unlimited
Disk Normal
Advanced CPU HT Sharing: Any
After bumping it up, I changed it to Full Acceleration under the Display Properties, Advanced.
I lost the mouse at that point.
Uninstalled the Mouse Driver, rebooted and it was restored.
Mouse is still choppy and loading anything takes far to long.
MS Event Viewer Logs:
Application- 1 Error, not on the web so Windows Updater cannot contact.
No other logs show any other Errors, only a couple warnings which are non-affecting.
Performance:
54 Processes, ~800M PF Use, CPU Usage is normal
Any thoughts on what could be causing such a performance degradation?
If you would like more information, config. info, logs, etc., just tell me what you would like.
